The Caffeinated Squirrel

    Check out this video of the pre-zen squirrel. No, I did not give an innocent squirrel caffeine. Hey, a little side story about this video. I wrote a childrens' book about Walter, The Lonesome Turtle. I intended to have pictures in it and this video, but had a horrible time getting them uploaded for Smashwords. I believe it would have been very cool. At the time it would have been one of the first of it's kind. Now, interactive books are the coming thing. Another thing about Walter is this: I just sat down one day and wrote it while I looked at a handful of photos from my library. I wrote the story from the pics, not vice versa. At any rate it was fun. I burned about three solid weeks and tore my hair out just trying to get my fancy version published. At length I gave up and published a book with no pics. Bummer. By the way, in the book this squirrel is a neighbor of Walter's, much maligned as a sloppy eater.
     One more note on the video. Yes, that's a washing machine you hear in the background.
    I started to tell you guys that I got tired of the Zen Squirrel being so mellow and gave him some energy drink but I was afraid that I'd get the animal rights folks upset. Hey, no one likes animals more than me.
    I think I should give the Zen Squirrel a name. Henceforth he shall be called Fontaine.

Four Free Games

Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to. Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends. I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As...
